Balboa Island Run, Walk, Shuffle at 60 | EP #22

Описание: Hey squad, what's good? If you've ever wondered how a 60-year-old ex-Ironman handles jet lag after touching down in sunny Southern California, this Sunday #22-1 is your answer: lace up, run the island, and pretend you're not dying inside. Spoiler: warmer weather + lots of walking = still a win, and the views? Chef's kiss. Welcome to Newport Beach life, where I'm officially relocated, fighting off the time zone gremlins, and already geeking out over this place.

In today's raw, no-filter vlog, I'm sharing the real deal on kicking jet lag to the curb with a solid morning run around Balboa Island—yep, the famous one with the fancy houses and harbor vibes. I thought the warmer temps would make it easy... turns out, I did a ton of walking mixed in, but finished strong around 10:40 AM, crashed for a killer nap, and woke up feeling way more human. They say exercise is the ultimate jet lag cure to reset your clock—turns out it's true! Now I'm prepped for the brutal 5:30 AM wake-ups (that's Eastern time start at 9 AM for work—brutal), so I splurged on the cheapest Walmart desk + chair combo (under $100, baby) and a monitor setup with a view outside. Remote work in paradise? Let's go.

Then we hopped in the car for some exploratory driving—getting our bearings on this unreal island setup. Newport Beach is next-level expensive for a reason: everywhere you look, it's yachts, mansions, and "how do people afford this?" energy. We cruised around, soaked it in, and yeah, I'm already hooked on the vibe. If you're into fitness while traveling, weight loss journeys on GLP-1s, or just watching an old triathlete try to adult in a new city, hit play. The laughs, the real talk about recovery, and the "first-world problems" are all here.

Why stick around? Because this is the unpolished truth—no highlight reels, just progress, setbacks, and proving you can rebuild endurance at 60+ even with meds in the mix. Drop your own jet lag hacks or Newport tips in the comments—I read 'em all!
